Welcome to Gaia! ::

◆◈◆◈◆"My sands will be your end"◆◈◆◈◆

San nodded as he replied to James, going into the somewhat advanced concepts of "Shape" minipulation and "elemental" minipulation. It would be interesting to see how his first attempt would be.

"Correct, but we can break that down even further to element, nature, location...and Shape as well. But more on shape minipulation when you get to it. Elemental minipulation is hard enough as it is, so good luck. But unfortunately after all that build up, your first technique i wanna see you perform isnt an elemental one. A technique that any good ninja worth his weight in salt would know is called "Shunshin no jutsu" or the body flicker technique. It allows us to travel over great distances rather quickly for offensive purposes, defensive purposes, or just lazy i dont wanna walk purposes. So follow make this one hand seal, concentrate your chakra on the location you wish to go, then....letttttttterrrrrrrrrrr ripppppppppppp. Got it?"

meanwhile, San sat down again and start his fuuin jutsu again. Seeing as he had just learned the Dark sealing method, might as well learn the light sealing method too. On the sheet next to him, San drew out the seal for the normalty sealing as well. As always, he ran his hands over the papers to check for any mistakes in his work. Satisfied, he switched his attention back to James and his Shunshin.

(Light sealing method and normalty sealing learned)

◆◈◆◈◆"Never doubt yourself"◆◈◆◈◆

◆◈◆◈◆"My sands will be your end"◆◈◆◈◆

San had to laugh. Now that was funny. It seemed this gennin had a sense of humor and....very good timing. San bowed as he reached to accept the snowcone.

"Hell yeah! Snowcones are awesome! Ok, well after this i guess i owe you a little idea i was comming up with. Seeing as we have the fountain....and you need water....here."

San drew out the summoning seal on a small tag for James.

"Infuse a C rank amount of chakra in here, then go Shunshin back to the fountain and put this on the bottom. Ok? Ill teach you something cool when you get back."

San, continuing his Fuuin ractice, drew out the speed sealing symbol. Running his hands over it to check for mistakes, San laughed at his student. Funny gennin.....

(speed sealing learned)

◆◈◆◈◆"Never doubt yourself"◆◈◆◈◆

James poofed back into the building now that the seal was in place.

Made himself a snowcone and then turned to the blindfolded Shinobi.

"Done, and done."

James followed the hand seals and concentrated on what he was doing. he out his focus to the seal he placed. Then focused on the water flowing over the seal, With the picture complete he pushed his chakra to draw the water forth. When the water began to pour out from the air in front of his hands James forgot to freeze it, and it splashed all over San and himself. James broke the hand seal and looked around at the large pool of water.

"cool, now I can always have it when i need it."

(summoning jutsu learned)

James scooped up all the water with his chakra and froze it into a block. Then he walked over to San and used a chill wind to vacuum all the water of San and himself and freeze it.

once he was done he picked up the scroll for Wind Armor and read through it carefully. After carefully looking over the hand signals James thought he had it. James Gathered his chakra. As he slowly walked through the hand seals he began to twist the air around him and pull it closer. He pulled once. Then he pulled again. Finally on the third pull he had enough wind and he just let his chakra flow like with the other armor techniques. the wind popped and swirled and surrounded James in a torrent.

(Wind Armor Learned)

James yelled back to San "Sure thing!"

James used a hand signal just to center himself. Slowly he gathered all of the wind up and bunched it around his forearms like a child with a length of ribbon. James turned towards the open part of the academy and set his focus on a single point. At first the sound dissipated as James focus narrowed. Then his peripherals closed. James breathing slowed, and his vision narrowed into a small scope like view on a bug resting on the far wall. James breathing slowed even more. His heart dropped to 50 beats a minute. Then all at once, his focus still sighted, James exploded into motion. With a roar he jumped and spun in the air. slicing his forarm like a knife. The massive gust of wind that followed was like a miniature explosion. If anything had been there, It would have been destroyed. James landed on his feet with a deep breath and a look of excitement in his eyes.

(Extreme Decapitating airwaves learned)

A figure silently entered the academy, and seeing San with a stranger, made several handsigns. Suddenly, Ganchou was at the boy's throat, holding a kunai just millimeters away from his neck. "Friend of yours, San?" He stated cheerfully. "Oh, I made my way back. It was a bit nasty being blown up, but I'm used to it. How are the others? Oh, a Gennin. How disappointing..." He let the kunai drop and sighed. He was an imosing figure in all of his new ANBU gear, but his normal Arctic Fox mask had 4 black slashes painted across it.
